The company is headquartered in the town of Epernay, France. In 1743, Claude Moët began delivering wines of the region of Champagne in Paris. The reign of Louis XV coincided with an increased demand for sparkling wines. Moet expanded rapidly and by the end of the eighteenth century, was already selling the drink for the whole Europe and the United States. His grandson, Jean-Rémy Moët, took the “House” for an elite clientele as Thomas Jefferson and Napoleon Bonaparte. The name Chandon was added to the company when Jean-Rémy Moët took half the company to his son in law Pierre-Gabriel Chandon for Briailles in 1832, and the other half to his son Victor Moët.
